Even as night arrived, Harvey York did not return.The news made Mandy Zimmer faint once more. She still could not accept the fact that her husband was already dead.Senior Zimmer organized a huge evening banquet, saying it was to mourn for Harvey York’s death. In truth, it was a celebration.The Zimmers had finally gotten rid of the live-in son-in-law!In her confusion, Mandy Zimmer was taken to the banquet by Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates.Xynthia Zimmer, on the other hand, had locked herself in her room with no intention of coming out. Hidden inside with no one to see, her tears kept flowing out to the point she was almost blinded by them.At the Zimmer Villa… Senior Zimmer stood up, trembling, as he held a cup full of wine.“Tonight’s goal of the banquet is simple!”“Number one: to restore Mandy Zimmer’s identity as a Zimmer!”“Number two: to celebrate Mandy Zimmer in finally regaining her freedom, completely free from her shackles!”“Number three: to preach our continu
“Do I look like a ghost to you?”Harvey York strode into the hall full of terrified people staring at him, and stopped right in front of Zack Zimmer.Zack Zimmer trembled and reached out to touch Harvey’s hand. Perplexed, he stammered, “It’s warm? You’re still alive? How could this be?”Harvey York replied coolly, “Seems like you really want me dead.”“Huh? Oh, no!” Zack Zimmer subconsciously denied the claim. He was not sure why he was so scared of Harvey York’s aura.“Harvey!”Mandy Zimmer had returned to her senses the moment Harvey appeared. She rushed toward him and hugged him tightly.Harvey York returned the hug and patted her on the head.“I’ve made you worry, I should’ve come back sooner…”“No, I’m glad you were able to come home…”The watching spectators grew disgusted by the heartwarming scene played by the two.Senior Zimmer barely stopped himself from trembling. He looked at Harvey York with a bewildered stare.“Impossible! The Silvas and Chopper Lyon wouldn’t
The next day, early morning.The Zimmer family had eagerly followed Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer to the Silva Corporation. Even the unstable Senior Zimmer had come along with them.How glorious this must be! There was no way he would allow himself to miss it!The Zimmers became exhilarated when they saw the Silva Corporation’s hundred-storey office building.Even though the Silva Corporation could not compare to the Sky Corporation, it was already quite an impressive company.Since Sky Corporation was directly under Prince York’s command, not just any ordinary company could compare itself to Sky Corporation.Even among the first-rated families in all of Buckwood, a business like Silva Corporation was scarce.Right now, the Zimmers were filled with excitement.Mandy Zimmer was no different.After finding the reception desk in the hall, Harvey York immediately expressed his intentions.“I’m Harvey York, I’m here to take over the Silva Corporation!”The receptionist looked at
The previous CEO of Silva Corporation was Leon Silva.But he had already resigned the day before, and had returned all of the Silvas’ shares.Quinton York’s most trusted subordinate, Joel Flynn, was temporarily appointed as Silva Corporation’s new CEO.He was a returned college student, trained by Quinton York during the last two years.When he unexpectedly received the news that he’d be appointed as the CEO of Silva Corporation the day before, Joel Flynn became excited to the point he could not sleep.To be the CEO of a million dollar corporation was truly the peak of life!As for why the Silvas had forfeited all of their shares and why Leon Silva would willingly give up his position of CEO, he did not know. He did not want to know, either.He only knew that he had successfully risen up the ranks.Quinton York only had one request for Joel Flynn: properly manage Silva Corporation. If anyone dared to take the Silva Corporation, he was asked to end their lives.Joel Flynn has t
Embarrassing!Truly humiliating!At that moment, the Zimmers felt like country bumpkins entering a city for the first time, like simpletons overwhelmed by luxurious surroundings. They were as ashamed as they could be.The Zimmers might not even have another chance at making a living in Buckwood. They’re being turned into laughing stocks here!“Hurry up and leave! Silva Corporation doesn’t welcome idiots!”“Security, get these poor people out of here!”At Joel Flynn’s orders, a crowd of security guards came out and surrounded them.Harvey York and the Zimmers were swiftly kicked out.“Bunch of idiots!” The security guard exclaimed.Every single one of the security guards were laughing their stomachs off. This was their first time in their career seeing people this dumb.Disgraceful!This was the most disgraceful thing that the Zimmers had experienced, by far!Even outsiders would soon know of their shameful experience!In the future, the Zimmers would be the biggest laughin
Seeing how Mandy Zimmer still tried to comfort herself even in a situation like this, Harvey York smiled.“Alright, I’ll listen to you in the future.”“But rest assured, I’ll have Silva Corporation sooner or later.”“When that time comes, I’ll change the name to Zimmer and hand it over to you as a gift.”Harvey York narrowed his eyes, he was truly prepared to do as he said. To him, this matter was nothing difficult anyway.As soon as Quinton York was dealt with, this plan would be set in stone.“Stop bragging already!”“I really want to slap you dead!”Senior Zimmer took a deep breath, and gave another warning.“Simon, take care of your own live-in son-in-law! He has nothing to do with the Zimmers in the future!”“Don’t drag the family down with you if something were to happen!”“If not, don’t blame us for kicking your family out!”“Leave!”Senior Zimmer turned to leave after speaking, boiling with anger.Simon Zimmer and Lilian Yates glared at Harvey York furiously and s
The social circle of the upper class elites in Buckwood wasn’t large, but it was not that small either.Yet in the span of a single day, news of the Silvas’ defeat in Buckwood had spread like wildfire.Aside from that, the upstarts in Buckwood, the Zimmers, actually tried to take over Silva Corporation.Naturally, this matter was treated as a joke by many. The Zimmers were unable to hold their heads up high anymore.Even Senior Zimmer didn’t dare to walk out of the villa, afraid that people would point fingers at him.In a single night, the Zimmers had become the laughing stock of Buckwood's upper class elites.The story had also cancelled out the sudden shock regarding the Silvas’ sudden retreat.When people talked about the Silvas, the Zimmers would be mentioned as well.Fortunately, Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer did not live with Simon Zimmer at the moment. If not, Simon Zimmer wouldn't have dared stepping outside with his family.Only Xynthia Zimmer knew that her brother-
“Oh, right. Godfather and Godmother are coming to Buckwood. When they get here, they’ll treat us to food. You should come along, brother-in-law!” Xynthia Zimmer told him the reason for her being there, grinning.“Sure.”Harvey York didn’t know much about how Xynthia Zimmer met a nobleman when she was born. Under the man’s guidance, she was recognized by a husband and wife with a high status as their goddaughter.Once every year, Xynthia Zimmer would go and stay with the married couple for a while.This married couple must have come from a powerful family. Even though they recognized Xynthia Zimmer as their goddaughter, they rarely involved themselves with the Zimmers.This was why Harvey York had never seen her godparents.Since they were people of high stature, something big must have happened if they wanted to come.That night, Simon Zimmer called over Harvey York and Mandy Zimmer to accompany him.Simon Zimmer sent Harvey a furious glare. He then took a deep breath and said,
Harvey smiled. "It's fine. But you do have to give me an explanation. Of course, if you can't, I'll get one myself."After that, Harvey could not be bothered with the same topic. He looked at the stone door and asked, "Why don't you introduce this to me?"Neve was slightly taken aback but still answered, "You know that Grand City does not belong in this world. In short, it exists in its own pocket dimension. It was said that Grand City's creator created this pocket dimension after he had achieved unison with Nature and before he stepped into the void."This is one of the few entrances into the Grand City, but it's the only entrance that everyone from the city can use. If you have the city's entry pass, then you can freely travel in and out. Of course, if your ancestry is rooted in Grand City, you can also use it."Harvey nodded. He was quite curious… When one reached the end of the path of martial arts and reached unity between man and nature, would one have this kind of power? Cou
No matter how Harvey looked at Vaida, he could tell she was no ordinary warrior. Her decisiveness and style proved to him that she was highly experienced in battles. He could even see some signs of her being in the military.Harvey was even more curious about Vaida's identity when he thought of that.But he knew it was not the time to think about such things. Harvey picked up a gun from the ground amidst the chaos and started to aim and shoot in front of him.If Vaida's attacks were all about affecting a wide area, then Harvey's attacks were all about accuracy. While he looked casual, whenever he pulled the trigger, an enemy would flop in a crumpled mess after each shot. The long-haired man could only watch with a dark expression.Despite bringing along an army of assassins with heavy firepower, his forces were being decimated."Darn it…!" The long-haired man let out a roar. "Deploy the heavy weapons!"Before he could finish yelling, he shuddered. There was disbelief in his eyes.
After eliminating Ruins and Ashes, Harvey did not waste another second, slammed his foot into a table, and sent it flying with a smile. Contrary to everyone's expectation, he did not leave the fire escape. Instead, he jumped out of a window and immediately ruined the long-haired man's plans.However, it was obvious that there were guards outside the window as well. As soon as they saw Harvey appear, the armed men were only slightly stunned before they aimed their guns at Harvey and pulled their triggers.Harvey immediately side-stepped, grabbed the fire extinguisher the cafe prepared for an emergency, and started spraying it all around him. Half the street was instantly covered in white as the bullets missed their marks, but several tourists who did not manage to escape in time were hit. The tourists cried, and it simply made the assassins even more aggressive.In just a short while, all these people would lose their lives.Harvey's eyes turned cold when he realized how nonchalant
However, before the Islander woman could swing her sword down, she could feel a sharp pain on her throat as a red dot appeared. Then, she could even feel all her strength disappear. She collapsed to the ground in disbelief, unable to make a sound. It was obvious that this woman could not understand how she was killed even moments before she died.The waiters and tourists only realized what was happening when they saw this moment. They screamed as they quickly ran toward the exits, throwing the entire Lucky Café into chaos. Harvey ignored all the chaos, picked up the sword from the woman's hand, and continued walking with a calm expression. At this time, a long-robed man and woman walked toward him among the crowds. Both of them looked quite strange. The man was missing an ear, while the woman was missing an eye. However, their energy signatures were terrifying, and they seemed very powerful."It's the Golden Triangle's assassin duo, Ruins and Ashes!""I heard the two could even de
While Hyperborea was a small city, as it was located on the nape of Snowdrake Mountain, it was also one of the most famous tourist cities in the country. Around 30 million travelers came to Hyperborea throughout the year, enriching their economies. However, it was somewhat difficult to manage the city.More than 90 percent of the population here came from other cities. So, it was going to be difficult to find anything about anyone.Besides being a tourist city, Hyperborea was also a location where people from all walks of life congregate.Harvey glanced around as he sat in the corner. He noticed that other than travelers, most of the people here were foreigners who spoke with foreign accents. Many of them carried firearms in secret, and some were obviously trained in martial arts. This place was destined to be different from other cities.While it was a tourist city on the surface, this place hid an entire underworld.'No wonder Grand City set its entrance in a place like this. It
After what Vaida had said, Harvey had no choice but to unlock the door. However, when Vaida glanced at the rear-view mirror, she said, "You get down!"Harvey had no choice but to shrug when being aimed with the repeating crossbow and got out of the driver's seat. Vaida quickly drove on the mechanic's truck and left like the wind. Shortly, several Toyota Prados appeared once more and headed straight toward the truck.Harvey looked at the scene and narrowed his eyes, seeming to be in deep thought. Then, he pulled out his mobile and dialed Geoffrey's personal number.When Geoffrey answered the call, he curiously asked, "What is it, friend?"Harvey replied with a smile. "Hello, Geoffrey. I'm supposed to be the mayor of Grand City, but the second I've arrived in Hyperborea, assassins are already here to kill me. And the person who wants to kill you and me is the same person.""You're in Hyperborea?" Geoffrey's voice became tense. "Who's the one who wants to kill you?""Ellena," stated
But just because Harvey was knowledgeable, it did not help. Several other plateless Toyota Prados drove in. All the windows from the passenger's side had been rolled down, showing individuals wearing military uniforms with heavy weapons in their hands.Harvey cursed as he immediately scouted around, thinking what he could use at a time like this.Vaida gave Harvey a look and showed off the repeating crossbow in her hand, then she quickly aimed and pulled the trigger.Whoosh!Silver bolts of light were fired at the cars, immediately piercing the Toyota Prados drivers. Then, there was an explosion. The Prados instantly turned into balls of fire as the vehicles were blown up.Harvey clicked his tongue. "These must be the legendary Thunderblasts. These are nice… They are more powerful than your usual weapons."Vaida coldly exclaimed, "Stop wasting your breath and start driving!"Harvey smiled and immediately hopped into the mechanic's truck and rammed through the chain fence surroun
Just when Harvey did not know how to respond, Vaida suddenly walked into the cockpit from behind. First, she glared at Harvey, then responded with Ellena's solemn voice. "It's done."When the person heard this voice, it was obvious that the man heaved a sigh of relief. "Land the plane on the last runway near the edge, then retreat immediately. Remember, don't leave any unfinished business behind. Our conversation is over." Then, the tone became engaged before it was completely cut off.Meanwhile, Harvey quickly took control of the plane's yoke and landed the plane successfully on the runway. The plane landed successfully. However, with one look outside, he suddenly frowned and said, "Something's not right. Go!"Then, Harvey dragged Vaida along with him and ran to the plane's emergency door. He opened the door and immediately jumped out.At this time, all the passengers in the first-class cabin finally got hold of themselves and started screaming and yelling. Instantaneously, the en
All the other passengers could only watch the sudden turn of events with mouths agape. It was as if they could not believe just how terrifying Vaida was. Even Harvey narrowed his eyes. He already knew that Vaida was a powerful martial artist and one that was close to losing control. But only now did he realize that the woman was trained in the legendary Basilisk Palm.It was a unique martial art from the tribes. While it was not exceptionally powerful, it was extremely venomous. Just one strike could make an elite like Ellena from Servitas lose power and control of her body, explaining just how terrifying this technique was.Before Harvey could say anything, Vaida had already picked up the revolver on the ground and immediately fired at her arms and legs. Then, she dislocated Ellena's jaw, making sure that Ellena could not kill herself no matter what.Vaida's directness made Ellena's eyes filled with rage. She could not believe that she still lost despite being in a situation wher
